Top-10 Viewing Options: A man who…is going to watch Dunkirk again? I don’t know, this is an absurd fight weekend. Good grief, HEY WORLD SERIES OF PROFESSIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE OF FIGHTING, JUST WAIT TWO WEEKS AND YOUR CARD GETS TOP BILLING!
1. Fight To Win Pro 44: Man, any port in a storm, eh? I love F2W a lot anyway, but in a weekend like this, it’s even more must-watch. Plus, Travis Stevens, judo silver-medalist makes his F2W debut!
2. Road Fighting Championship 41: Your best MMA option this weekend, which isn’t a promising notion, but has some notable heavyweights.
3. Classic Entertainment & Sports MMA 45: Pretty solid fare from CES, all things considered, and with a guy like Andre Soukhamthath making waves in the UFC, maybe more people will start paying attention to CES.
4. All-Access: Mayweather vs. McGregor: sigh unfortunately in this wasteland of a weekend, this at least worth an eyeball until you can’t take it anymore, which should take at least a minute or two.
5. Omar Chavez vs. Roberto Garcia: Lord almighty this is a thin week. If you can find it on BeIn Sports, it’s a fun clash of guys who need this one to make one more push at 154.
6. Cesar Seda vs. Rogelio Casarez/Taronze Washington vs. Yamaguchi Falcao: Falcao, the former Olympic bronze-medalist is a very interesting prospect, and middleweight desperately needs some new blood.
7. UFC Classics: Brock Lesnar: Prepare for Brock’s imminent return by watching him disco once Velasquez lands some hands.
8. UFC Classics: Frank Mir: Prepare for Brock’s imminent return by watching him turn Frank Mir into a jelly.
9. 30 For 30: Muhammad And Larry: Still one of my favorite 30 For 30s of all-time. Larry Holmes knew what he had to do, and knew what was going to happen, but he had to grin and pretend to be excited to end his idol.
10. UFC 134: The liveliest UFC crowd ever. Watched this one live at a bachelor party weekend, and was blown away by the fact that you could actually hear the crowd over the bar rabble.
Outside the Tube: Fighters you know or should know that won’t be appearing on your magic television box over the weekend.
